A Touch of Class

American Steve Blackburn, in the insurance business, is married with two kids. Vickie Allessio, a self-described design "stealer" for a knockoff fashion house, is a recent divorcée with two kids. Steve and Vickie are running into each other more and more in their day-to-day London lives before really knowing each other; when they do officially meet, Steve is up-front that he wants to have an affair with her. He is well accustomed to having affairs whenever his "old-money" wife Gloria isn't around, and she's currently in the U.S. visiting her parents. Vickie, in turn, is up-front that she is amenable to a no-strings affair with him under specific circumstances: it should be at least a classy short-term affair--no cheap motels--and preferably a weekend away somewhere warm. Able to arrange a business trip to Málaga, Spain, for a week, Steve convinces Vickie to change their agreed weekend to a week and spend it in the nearby resort of Marbella. However, one issue after another has the potential to derail the Marbella vacation and thus their affair, unless they can overcome all of the obstacles.
